Patience

Waiting can be so hard. I know that patience is a good thing and all part of the Fruit of the Spirit, but still it is hard. Since my position with my current employer is slated to be eliminated, I've been doing a lot of job searching. I have had some interviews, but nothing yet. I applied for a position with Whirlpool and not only have had a phone interview, but also an in-person interview. Now all I can do is wait. I have the strong hope that I will get the job, but my mind is stepping in saying "don't hold your breath." On one hand I do want to believe that I'll get the job, but on the other hand I don't want to hold any expectation that will just set me up for another hurt. Of course any time I open my heart up to hope, despair will come also. It seems you can't have one without the other.

For now...I wait.
